Here is a 2009 CCF posting by @Conder101 that mentions annealing of large cent planchets (specifically regarding the Classic Heads, but it goes to...
:banghead:
Any longshot chance he should still try submitting it, or are you certain that would be a waste of money?
Damaged. George got whacked on the head by something. Sorry, don't see any error here.
It's environmental damage. This happens to copper-nickel clad coins when they're exposed to the elements. In the ground, they change color to...
Nicely done, @Curtisimo. Love the inclusion of the Pompeii fresco.
It's damaged. Ground down somehow. Strange looking, I'll grant you that. But damage, not an error.
That is toning, and not even very pronounced toning at that. This is what a missing clad layer looks like (on a dime). [IMG]
No. A fairly common grease-filled die error. Not valuable, but kinda neat, if you like that sorta thing. It's worth whatever someone would...
Generally speaking, these sort of "stuck together" rolls are NOT a good buy. But as @TheFinn mentioned, there's still a (small) chance you could...
Well, if your video is uploaded to YouTube, you can post it here, using the little "filmstrip" icon you'll see on the toolbar when you're in...

Sorry - I might have reposted those pix from the original thread to the second thread after moving the original thread to Purgatory. That might...
Don't know where you got that 127K mintage figure from (I don't see it on Numista or on NGC/Krause). The ones from mint sets are the Franklin...
Aha. I see you did get the embedding of the images right in the other thread, but since you had replies on this one, I removed the other...
Kinda steep for what will almost assuredly be a roll of common Wheat cents with a common Merc dime stuck on one end, but who knows. You might...
Can't help you on anything to do with modern Lincoln cent varieties (not my thing at all), but here are your pix: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
28 mm means a halfpenny, then. Not surprising at all for a New Jersey find. Y'all have all kinds of interesting things sleeping in the soil up...
Y'know, you're totally right. While writing up the last installment, I myself thought, "geez, how lame - I've been calling this guy 'the...
